Machine Tech-Mikee crank thread.

Just did a quick check and 130 not 135. Here is a joke/photoshop crank that I wished they had made.

Here are a few more items.Some of the cantis that came in the usual array of anodised colors of the time. I dont know if this is a Machine Tech cable hanger or not.

Yep, that's a MT cable hanger. The first edition. In 1996 they came out with a different type of hanger.

Thanks Mr_ship.....was there ever only the 135 length in the ovalised stems?
Here is another snap:

I had a 120mm one. There was also a 150mm one.

If you can make me a set of ovalized jobbies I can sling some token dosh your way (thought of using a Middleburn spider for starts).

this is the front hub i have. wished that i could find a matching rear to go with it. it's a beautiful hub.

pic is in bad quality!!!!!

 

[mikee]

i think that like most exotic hubs they sold more fronts than rears
or maybe the rears break ?

 

[monketeer]

they look better made than a lot of modern hubs...

It would seem that the rear had problems. I dont know if this is the first gen Power claw and not the later Silent. MTBR reviews are here:

Also found some more pics from another MTBR thread. The first pic is a very interesting hybrid model of the Zeroflex. Instead of the normal hole it has the sculpted cut of the second generation V brakes.

Here are some more color pics. Love the black stem and would swap anyone for a silver.......(and some gold of course).
